The last day of my trip. The last day is the best day. The last day was another early get up and started with a beautiful sunrise and a calm flight to Memphis. After a quick turn in Memphis it was off to New York. When Austin was little we went to New York which he called Ew Nork City and he said he would live there one day and ride around in a limousine. Who knows? Today we were flying into LaGuardia which is another very small airport with spectacular views. The approach takes us by the city which you can see in the first 2 pictures. If you look closely you can see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. There is a void at the end of the peninsula where the Twin Towers stood. You can see it clearly and the skyline looks slightly beaten where it once stood so strong.
The next 2 pictures are on approach to the airport. To the right is the New York skyline. We actually fly so close to the city it seems weird to be so close to a city that was so terrible ravaged. It is beautiful and sad at the same time. Notice in the pictures how much water there is around. You don't think about New York City as being right on the water. LaGuardia airport is surrounded by water much like DC. There have been several airplanes slide off the runways and into the water. Thankfully I did not bring my swimsuit so I will stay dry. See ya at home!
